Kolkata Knight Riders v Delhi Daredevils

Delhi Daredevils won by 8 wickets (with 5 balls remaining)

Twenty20 match | 2012 season
Played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata
5 April 2012 - day/night (20-over match)


Kolkata Knight Riders innings (12 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
BB McCullum†	lbw b van der Merwe	9	8	7	2	0	128.57
1.4 Gone! He tried to repeat that same shot that went for four. Not short and he still went on to the back-foot, tried to swing it away to the deep square-leg fence but missed, caught in front of the wickets. 14/1
JH Kallis	b Morkel	4	14	4	1	0	100.00
2.4 Yorker, bowled! South African bowls out another South African! It was pitched right up, Kallis tried to flick it away to the leg-side but missed and down went the timber. 20/2
G Gambhir*	b Morkel	16	24	15	2	0	106.66
6.4 Bowled him! Morkel has another wicket, and it is a big one. Gambhir tried to run it down to the third-man but only got an inside-edge that found its way to the stumps. A bail went down and Gambhir goes to the pavilion. 54/5
MK Tiwary	b Morkel	0	1	1	0	0	0.00
2.5 Bowled again! Similar ball, pitched right up and Tiwary went back on his crease, trying to defend, could not get his bat down in time and the stumps get pegged back. Three down and Morkel's on a hat-trick. 20/3
YK Pathan	c †Ojha b Yadav	0	4	4	0	0	0.00
3.6 Gone! That was a weird short to say the least, length ball and Pathan wanted to duck under it. The ball did not rise enough and all he did was to get a glove to that and the keeper did the rest! 31/4
DB Das	run out (Finch/†Ojha)	18	13	9	0	2	200.00
6.5 Morkel to Shukla, Run-out! That is a silly one given the circumstances. Shukla pulled it away for an easy single but Das wanted a second. He ran, there never seemed any calling from them and he found himself at the same end as Shukla. Das has to follow his captain back. 55/6
LR Shukla	c Nagar b Yadav	26	15	17	1	2	152.94
10.4 Gone this time! Caught at long-on, it was a good length ball but Shukla failed to gauge it too well and did not get the meat of the bat. The mistimed shot went only up to the long-on fielder who takes it comfortably. 86/7
R Bhatia	st †Ojha b van der Merwe	7	16	9	0	0	77.77
11.2 He is gone, stumped! Pitched right up to the bat and Bhatia missed after coming down the track. Namane Ojha gathered it well and chopped the bails off their roots. 89/8
B Lee	run out (Yadav)	9	5	5	0	1	180.00
11.6 from van der Merwe, Gone, run-out! Super piece of work from Umesh Yadav. It was driven by Lee to the deep square-leg and the batsmen went for a second. Yadav got the direct hit from that region and Lee was caught way, way short! 97/9
Iqbal Abdulla	not out	1	2	1	0	0	100.00

Extras	(lb 5, w 2)	7

Total	(9 wickets; 12 overs)	97	(8.08 runs per over)

AJ Finch	b Kallis	30	27	5	0	111.11
6.2 Tries to make some room and cut it away but misses. The bowler does not and the castle looks troubled. De Lange's bouncer that hit Finch, could have had something to do with that. 49/1
V Sehwag*	c Iqbal Abdulla b Bhatia	20	13	1	1	153.84
7.2 Slower one and that is very well caught by the fielder at the long-on fence! Sehwag wanted to hit it over mid-wicket but the lack of pace caused the problem and Abdulla ran in front of his own dug-out to take that catch! 57/2
